Wish your wonderful friend Merry Christmas Birthday with a card featuring two adorable raccoons, Rocky and Bullwinkle excited that Santa Claus is arriving to fill their stockings with goodies standing in front of a fireplace with Santa's legs dangling down. Background is red with white text. Some elements by La galerie de Jackie, Lemur Designs. Irving described Santa as a stout, bearded man who smoked a pipe. He wrote that Santa rode a wagon in the air and delivered presents to children by going down the chimney. Santa originally had eight reindeer, Rudolph was not added until 1939 when Robert L. May wrote a Christmas poem to bring traffic into his store.
